Explanation[edit | edit source]

As the author's comment alludes to, Ted Turner was notorious, for a time, for colorizing old black and white movies in order to make them more commercially viable. Thus, in this strip, Lubaf takes a strip that was previously uncolored for artistic reasons and colored it in as a sort of "Take That" at colorization.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

By way of explanation (search for "Turner"). Idea from this thread. (If you're curious how long it takes a strip to go through the queue, as of September, 2013, I submitted this at the same time I posted a reply on the thread featuring an Imgur version of same.)

Original Strip: 1995-09-10

Admin note: Actually this strip got a slightly accelerated run through the submission pile, because of the consonance with yesterday's strip. There are (as of this strip being published) still 8 strips which were submitted in August 2013 which will probably show up soon, plus a lot of strips submitted earlier than that which have been leapfrogged because either because newer submissions are of higher quality or the submitter is prolific and they're being broken up in time.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Garfield is sleeping}
Garfield: I hate Mondays. Mondays are boring. Woe is me...
Jon: {Offscreen} Get the paper, Garfield.
Garfield: Yes, master.
{Garfield goes outside, and picks up the paper, noticing...}
Garfield: It's Sunday!
{Garfield jumps for joy}
